Who will be Marvel’s new Kang? Beloved actor to replace Jonathan Majors

On December 19, Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assault and harassment against his ex-girlfriend following his trial. And, in the process, fired by Marvel Studios, who a few years earlier had cast him as Kang the Conqueror, the successor to Thanos among the MCU’s great villains.

With two seasons of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Loki on the horizon, Jonathan Majors won’t have time to settle in, and few options are available to Kevin Feige and his crew.

Including: changing the actor in the role or changing the big bad guy. If the rumors that have been circulating for a few weeks are to be believed, the production would lean towards the first option.

And today, scooper Daniel Richtman claims that John David Washington, Denzel’s son, would “seems to be considered” To re-enact the role. That’s not to say that Tenet will star Jonathan Majors, or even that he’s had a shot, but his name will be one that’s mentioned in the Marvel Studios offices. According to the sounds coming from the corridors.

If it’s not hard to imagine John David Washington as Kang, who proved his mettle in sci-fi thanks to Tenet and The Creator, the information calls for some sleight of hand.

Because Daniel Richtman is not the most reliable source, far from it. Recently publicly recast by James Gunn, who denied his scoop on Batman II’s villains, he already confirmed earlier this month that Colman Domingo was being considered as a replacement for Jonathan Majors.

Using the word again “information spread”, which allows it to protect itself if it is false or denied. And even if his opinion about John David Washington were true, he would only be an actor “review” for Kang’s role, which means it’s one avenue Marvel Studios could decide to pursue, or not pursue, to establish a new face for the Avengers’ future adversary.

Unless it’s ultimately decided that Kang will be replaced by another villain like Galactus or Dr. Doom.
